Harris Farm Markets grows at 20% quarterly with Shopify

Founded in 1971, Harris Farm Markets started with a single shop in
Sydney, Australia. More than 40 years later, it’s still 100% family
owned and operated with 24 stores, a growing wholesale division, and
a fast developing online business. Over 11M customers shop at Harris
Farm Markets every year because of its reputation for offering the
freshest quality produce at fair prices. In July 2013, Harris Farms
launched its Shopify store to deliver premium produce and grocery
lines across Sydney.

Simple solution

We wanted the most affordable platform that would be easiest for my
staff and I to operate. Shopify was recommended to us by one of our
consultants as a platform that would best suit our business. Because
of the simplicity of the platform, I was able to develop our online
store with my wife who is a graphic designer.

Value to customers

Our Shopify site is simple and easy for our customers to use. We offer
the best customer experience in our category of the market. That
includes providing our customers with one-hour delivery windows,
same-day delivery of premium fruit and vegetables, and a satisfaction
guarantee.

With Shopify, we know that every week we can do what we need to
do and it’s not going to break.

Rapid growth

Our website traffic has increased by approximately five times compared
to pre-Shopify. Our business is currently growing at a rate of
approximately 20% quarterly. We now have 85,000 unique monthly
visitors, and bring in an average of 900 orders per week.

API capabilities

On Shopify Plus, we have developed pricing and ranging APIs that
remove stock from the online store when we’re out of something or when
we change prices. We’ve also developed an API for fulfilling products
and archiving orders.
